Hag

So, like you, I have no real idea who this woman is at the Hag's door. She's got torso feathers though. If that helps.

The Art




They could have titled it just that. But they went the whole nine, and titled the book, "The Art of Ralph McQuarrie". Now it has arrived, and I just leafed through it. Wow. Check it out, it's totally in my apartment:P Yeah, I own it, yet, I feel like the subject, and the book is my master.

Anxious block

I'm spending the day fretting to and fro, doing laundry, dishes and the like. I'm to distracted to work on WPF, and spent a few minutes to do this little portrait of Biscuit.
Now, back to the pepper grinder.-Micah

Inspired by one of my favorites

Greetings, browsers! Here's a drawing inspired by one of my favorite artists, John Jude Palencar. I first saw his stuff in old Time Life books about hauntings and what-not, but I was too young to know it. Then, I rediscovered him in the nineties when I stumbled across a few book covers he did. The man is a wonder. If you're out there, here's to you! Check out his art here, you won't be dissappointed. He's got a heckuvuh site there, love the hourglass figure upon entry :)
Later,

Weekend Plans

Hey readers, I'll be taking a break for a while as I spend some time at the hospital. I'm having surgery at the University of Wisconsin Surgical Center. Drop me a line or come by if you're in the neighborhood. Have a good one, and I'll be back to it soon.
Cheers,
-Micah

broken halo

A fairie, a demon, a star wars alien? You decide.
Have a good one.

Okay, enough of these pages!




Page one of "The Hag" and the rest of the next parcel. The quote by William Matthews I took from a sonnet titled, "Vermin" that I read on Adam's blog yesterday. I don't know much about poetry, but that last sentence is killer. Cheers buddy. And I promise I'll start some new pages tomorrow...I hope.

New Album, New Art

I downloaded a Wailin' Jennys album from Itunes yesterday, and was moved to draw this beasty. I'll leave it up to you to make the final call, but it seems to me to be a kind of sea-turtle-dragon.
Any-hoo...

new habit?


Maybe I will make it a habit of uploading a drawing everyday. I've been moved to use this old moleskin book by a weekly challenge from a group of friends and colleagues to make art. Who'd a thought, an artist making art? It's a fun little book. Anyway, here's today's offering.

Postcards review and WPF issue#3

A couple good pieces of news today. Postcards, True Stories That Never Happened was reviewed in USA Today...today. Read it here. I'm happy to see my own name and story by Josh mentioned there but, of course, kudos also to Bob Tinnell and Brendan and Brian Fraim as well for their mention in the article, and Jason Rodriguez for being a whirling dervish of publicity.

Also, the final installment of my three issue series, White Picket Fences will be avaiable at the Ape Entertainment booth at Wizard World Chicago this weekend. Come see me and the cowriters of this book, Matt Anderson and Eric Hutchins, at the same table. Check out the cover for issue three below.
